D-day for Limerick as board make decision on McCarthy

THE Limerick hurling crisis is expected to come to a conclusion tonight when club delegates discuss the ongoing saga at a county board meeting in Claughaun.

Clubs have been given the opportunity to express their views as the fate of senior hurling team manager Justin McCarthy hangs in the balance.

McCarthy has alienated members of the 2009 Limerick panel after 12 were axed from his plans for next year before nine others walked away in protest.
